PLEASE HELP: problen with dir listing on FTP
Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 9:45 pm
I can connect to my site via my FTP, but it cannot retrieve the directory listing, I don't have root access and my host is a lazy piece of <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> which is ticking me off real bad, stuff like this keeps happening, weather the site is down for a couple hours or days, or I cannot connect at all to my FTP stuff like this keeps on happening.
Anyway, that's not the point, the point is I cannot get a directory listing to upload, download, edit, delete files and such on my site, which means I really can't do to much work to it and I am in a crunch I need to get it done.
Can anyone help me? Even if it is a problem that needs root access to fix, let me know please, so I can tell my POS host what to do and hold his hand and walk him through it.
Here it what it says when I connect:
Thank you very much,
Al Decker
